UNIVERSITY PREPARES TO GROW OIL
Published: January 3, 1981
The university will retain patents on any developments arising from its research at the center, but plans to give investing companies exclusive rights to use the inventions commercially, he said.
The facility will include about 10 acres outdoors, and another 3,000 square feet of greenhouse space for growing plants such as jojoba, buffalo gourd, guayule and gopher weed to process into oil.

UNIVERSITY PREPARES TO GROW OIL - New York Times
A big 1980's mistake.
Someone has just bio-engineered a bacteria that can produce oil.
If you can't patent Gopher Weed What good is it to you?
